Chapter 361 - 361 361 The Message Brought by the Worm

361: Chapter 361 The Message Brought by the Worm 361: Chapter 361 The Message Brought by the Worm As the dense smoke cleared, the viewing platform was empty except for a few bodies.

Nightmare clenched his teeth as he stood up, finding it hard to believe what he saw before him and started searching frantically…

Refining Mo had taken Illusion Fox away, and even Rong Yuan had taken the opportunity to escape in the smoke.

Nightmare’s heart sank to the bottom, looking outward, but there were only the arriving police vehicles below; the trio’s whereabouts were nowhere to be seen.

…

Netherworld Palace, villa base.

Nightmare had been searching like a madman for most of the day.

Everyone tried to persuade him to go back, but without exception, they were all scolded away.

In the end, it was only after Ye Shikai gave him his word that Nightmare went back to the villa.

Then, like a soulless being, he slumped into a chair, exhausted both physically and mentally, while everyone else was dispatched to search for the Tomb Spirit Organization’s traces.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely save her.” At this moment, a large hand patted his shoulder, and slowly turning his head, it was Ye Shikai who had come from Hill Hotel.

“My lord, she…”

“No need to say, I know what you want to say.” Ye Shikai interrupted Nightmare’s words.

He understood that feeling two hundred percent.

The woman he loved being kidnapped without any news was worse than facing execution.

As the leader of Netherworld Palace, Ye Shikai felt obligated to protect his brothers.

He swore to become stronger, so strong to protect those around him.

“Knock, knock, knock.” Just then, the villa’s door was suddenly opened, and both men turned their heads to look at the entrance.

“Uh, Boss, it seems like I’ve come at a bad time.” A man of medium stature walked in and saw Ye Shikai comforting Nightmare, becoming somewhat embarrassed as he approached Ye Shikai.

“Worm, why are you here?

Shouldn’t you be staying at the Netherworld Palace headquarters?” Ye Shikai asked, puzzled.

“This…” Worm scratched his head awkwardly, then glanced at the stupefied Nightmare and sneakily gave Ye Shikai a meaningful look.

“Boss, I have something to report to you, about the Underworld.” Worm said calmly.

“Alright, let’s talk in the conference room.

Nightmare, you rest well here, I believe there will be news soon.” Ye Shikai nodded gently, then patted Nightmare’s shoulder before leaving.

…

In the conference room.

“Alright, it’s just the two of us now, just say it.” Ye Shikai closed the door and spoke indifferently.

“Boss, this matter…

it’s not about the forces of the Underworld, it’s about…

Nightmare.” Worm stammered, his gaze still looking outside, resting on Nightmare.

The windows of the conference room were one-way; one could see out from the inside, but not into from the outside.

“Nightmare, what’s the matter.” Ye Shikai’s spirit suddenly lifted, his voice cold.

“More precisely, it’s about Illusion Fox.” Worm hesitated, still unconsciously looking outside to make sure Refining Mo wasn’t listening, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The conference room was completely soundproof, so of course, no one outside could hear.

“Illusion Fox, she was taken away by the Tomb Spirit Organization this morning, you already know.” Ye Shikai asked.

“No, not that matter, but…” Worm shook his head, struggling to continue, his face filled with hesitation.

“What is it?” Ye Shikai wasn’t a fool; having heard this far, he could already discern the implications from Worm’s words, and his expression turned serious in an instant.

“You should listen to this first.” Worm didn’t answer, but took out a mobile phone from his pocket and played a recording.

“This is…” Ye Shikai asked in confusion, picking up the phone and putting it to his ear to listen.

Gradually, his expression grew increasingly solemn and frosty; taking a deep breath, the grinding of his teeth could even be heard making a “crack crack” sound by the end.

“Boss, what do you think about this matter, should we…”

“Let’s not tell him about it for now.

Just keep your own mouth shut,” Ye Shikai said gravely, his heart in turmoil as if a jar of mixed flavors had been overturned, and his tone somewhat displeased.

“Yes, I understand,” Worm nodded repeatedly.

“How did you come across this?” Ye Shikai asked coldly, his expression unyielding since he had heard the recording, and even as he spoke to Worm, there was an emotion close to bursting, making Worm somewhat nervous.

“Zi Yun called me earlier about Illusion Fox being captured, then I thought I’d help look for some clues.

By accident…

I found this recording,” Worm said hesitantly.

“I will handle this matter; you don’t need to get involved,” Ye Shikai sighed and said indifferently.

“Yes, Boss, I’m going to go back soon.

I came to Hong Kong this time just to inform you of this,” Worm nodded.

……

As the two men exited the conference room, Nightmare was still slumped on the sofa in a despondent manner.

Ye Shikai looked at him with a heart full of emotions, seeing Nightmare’s “haggard for someone’s sake” appearance reminded him of the time when Su Qingyu was taken away by the men in black, and how anxious Ye Shikai felt.

Therefore, he understood Nightmare very well.

Worm had already copied the recording onto a voice recorder.

Holding the device tightly in his hand, Ye Shikai felt somewhat lost.

“Ding-a-ling.” Suddenly, the mobile phone on the coffee table rang.

Nightmare grabbed it like he was electrified, saw an unfamiliar number and without thinking, answered it.

Seeing this, Ye Shikai immediately went over.

According to what Refining Mo had said, he would contact Nightmare himself, so Illusion Fox’s safety shouldn’t be an issue for now.

“Refining Mo, don’t harm her.

I agree to all your terms,” Nightmare said urgently.

Now that Illusion Fox’s life was at stake he had none of his usual reserve; any man whose lover was taken would probably behave the same.

“No problem, I accept your conditions, but you must ensure her safety,” Nightmare said after a pause and then hung up the phone.

“Nightmare, what did Refining Mo say?” Ye Shikai asked urgently.

“He wants me to go save her alone.

If anyone else comes, he’ll kill Illusion Fox,” said Nightmare, collapsing on the sofa as if sapped of all strength, the phone clattering to the ground from his hand.

“Damn it,” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but curse.

He had guessed Refining Mo’s intention, and Nightmare had too.

Both men understood each other without a word, yet neither spoke aloud.

Just as Refining Mo had once said, the Tomb Spirit Organization would not let a traitor go unpunished.

For Nightmare to go alone would be tantamount to suicide.

“Worm, how’s it going, have you taken care of it?” Ye Shikai took a deep breath and turned to ask.

“The call lasted twenty-four seconds, and we’ve located them.”
